About this business

After 14 years of ownership our client is looking forward to his pending retirement after a lifetime in the trade. The turnover can be increased by the addition of a home delivery service and would benefit from younger more enthusiastic ownership. The shop requires some updating, but is fully functionable and the large vacant ground floor accommodation that would make a comfortable family home. Ideal purchase for husband & wife team, offered at a keen price.
